r. E. LEE.
Was He a Great Generali

EDITOR NATIONAL TRIBUNE: 1t is now 2I
years since the war closed, and the status Of
Lee as great, or the great General of the war,
as some choose TO term him, is very much in
doubt.
He had been so landed during the war by
his friends North and South that he was placed
first, but now few would place him there. GEN
erals, like all the rest must be judged by re-
suits. Judged by these Lee was failure in
comparison with Grant, Sherman or Joe John
ston.
At Malvern Hill, his first great battle he
deliberately sent the flower OF his army TO
almost certain defeat. The Union forces were
in very strong position, largely superior i'm
numbers, yet he sent in less than 10000 where
his artillery could not be used, to be shot to
pieces by 200 cannon and over 10000 infantry
There could not be one chance in hundred
of winning.
Grant never did anything half as rash and
foolish, yet the rebs and cops used TO call him
butcher" Burnside did the same at Freder-
ieksburg, and was removed by common con-
sent, though he had superior force TO make
the attack, and stood little chance OF win.
ming
AT Gettysburg Lee repeated the same foolish
blunder, attacking in front a superior force
and again, OF course, met bloody repulse All
now agree, as at Malvern. he made a terrible
mistake. 1t was not Generalship. Yet idiots
Cali brant The butcher. though he never did
anything half as rash-tho only approach 10 IL
was at Cold HarbOr, and he was careful not to
repeat that.
Again, in the Wilderness Lee attacked a su.
perior number and held his army TO the bloody
contest until, as JEFF Davis admits in his book
that their army was ruined for further fighting
in the open field. They exulted over Grants
terrible losses, but dared not publish their own
and admit their army was ruined. So in the
last battles around Richmond, Lee stuck
TO his trenches until there was no
chance of escape, and then fought his
army in brutal fight, when there was no
hope of winning-whieh his men well knew.
and Were deserving AS fast ms they could. we'll
knowing IL was useless slaughter Is IL not
about time the truth was told2 Lee was the
reckless butcher; and often led his army TO
useless, hopeless slaughter. and yet half the
writers still belttle Grant, Sherman and Sheri-
dan, the Generals, and laud 10 the skies Lee
the reckless butcher. This sounds simply
ridiculous TO all who ever read of Malvern
Hill and Gettysburg the Wilderness and Ap-
pomattox. They were simply butcheries,
without reasonable hope.-A. J. CRoPsEY, I2ith

Death Of Another wen.Knorn Officer.

the famous Ricketts, battery, died at his home
in Washington Sept. -. He had been i'll for
years. and at times his illness had taken alarm
ing turns and threatened to terminate his ex-
istence. A gunshot wound through the lung,
received at Winchester, gave him great trou-
BILE. Through exposure he contracted pneu-
monia several years ago, and it left him with a
painful cough. His constitution was u strong
one, and his recuperative powers astonished
the physicians who, from time to time, saw
him rally from assaults Of disease that would
have struck down most men not enfeebled as
lac was by wounds received in battle.
He spent the Summer at Jamestown, near
Newport and returned to Washington about 10
days ago. His death was the climax Of n re-
turn of the symptoms that had occasionally
alarmed his family. Gen. Ricketts, was in his
7lst year, having been born in New York city
